Patient's question:

How is pediatric rheumatic immune disease treated?

Doctor's answer:

If a child develops rheumatic conditions, it is essential to ensure they rest as much as possible and eat well, with meals focusing on easy digestion and rich nutrition. Those with heart failure should follow a low-sodium diet. Severe myocarditis and cardiomegaly are prone to heart failure, and in addition to corticosteroid treatment, digoxin or intravenous digitoxin, as well as rapid-acting diuretics like furosemide, should be administered. In daily life, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid getting cold or damp.
